dotTEST can be deployed in a Docker container to enable seamless integration with modern development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

You can download a ready to use dotTEST container image from Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/parasoft/dottest. The container image includes dotTEST, build tools and common utilities. See the documentation at Docker Hub for deployment and customization instructions.

Building a Custom Docker Container Image Locally

Requirements

• Windows 64-bit
• Docker
• dotTEST installation package

Building a Container Image

To build a Docker container image that includes dotTEST:

1. Review and modify the content of the <INSTALL_DIR>\integration\docker\Dockerfile to specify the tools you want to include in the container image.
2. Optionally, configure dotTEST before the container image is built. This allows you to provide a default dotTEST configuration to all users of the image:
   • Open the 'dottestcli.properties' file in the <INSTALL_DIR>\integration\docker directory.

   • Add the license settings and other configuration settings to the 'dottestcli.properties' file.

     Note

     You must configure a network license to run dotTEST in a Docker container. The local license is not supported. See Setting the License for details.

3. Copy the dotTEST distribution file (.zip) to the <INSTALL_DIR>\integration\docker directory.

4. Run the following command in the <INSTALL_DIR>\integration\docker directory to build the image:

   docker build --rm -t dottest:latest .

   The image will include runnable dotTEST and other tools you specified in the Dockerfile.

5. Once you built the Docker container image that includes dotTEST, you can utilize all of dotTEST's capabilities available from the command line interface:

   docker run --rm dottest:latest dottestcli -help
